Playa Hermosa town

This is a photo of one of the main streets in the town of Playa Hermosa. It is a quiet, Costa Rican beach town. It is much smaller than Tamarindo and does not have the shopping, restaurants and activities of Tamarindo.

Yesterday Zakton of Jakarta Photos left a comment saying that he thought that there is a Hermosa Beach in California as well. Indeed there is. It is in Los Angeles, a little south of LAX Airport, north of Palo Verdes and Long Beach, near to Redondo Beach. It is a nice each community. In California they like to give Spanish names to streets and towns, even for places named by Anglos rather than the Spanish.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. This week we are showing photos of Norway, a beautiful country.

Welcome to Costa Rica'a First Daily Photo Website

Tamarindo, located on the Northwest Pacific Coast region of Costa Rica, called Guanacaste, features warm surf, fiery sunsets, abundant wildlife, scenic beauty, modern conveniences, fine dining, and diverse activities. Forbes Magazine properly called it Costa Rica's most popular beach resort.

Costa Rica is one of the world's top destinations for eco-tourism. 25% of its land is set aside for national parks and wildlife refuges -- more than any other country. Tamarindo Daily Photo focuses on the area near Tamarindo, and at times highlights other parts of Costa Rica to share with readers a delightful country waiting to be explored on the Internet and in person.
